This 1734 engraving by Pierre Filloeul depicts a young woman in profile, her head slightly turned towards the viewer. The detail in her clothing and hairstyle is evident in the artist’s meticulous technique. The work was likely commissioned by an individual to commemorate the young woman, and its small size suggests it was intended for private viewing. This portrait is a fine example of 18th-century printmaking and reveals the artistic interests of its time.
